Bolt Food suspends motorcycle deliveries in Cyprus due to extreme heat

On July 22, 2026, the delivery platform Bolt Food announced a temporary suspension of motorcycle-based deliveries in Cyprus. The measure is in effect from 12:00 to 16:00 to ensure the safety of couriers during extreme temperatures. This decision follows an orange weather warning issued by the Department of Meteorology and official government instructions to limit outdoor work during peak heat. The company stated that deliveries will continue to be fulfilled using automobiles, which may result in longer wait times for customers. Alexandros Lambrou, the Country Manager for Bolt in Cyprus, stated that the safety and health of couriers take precedence over operational continuity. The company has also advised all delivery partners to stay hydrated, take breaks in cool areas, and avoid prolonged sun exposure. Bolt continues to monitor weather conditions and official government guidelines to determine if further measures are necessary.
